Imaging findings of orofacial cysticercosis: report of 5 cases with review of literature.
Synthesis in Oral radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cysticercosis, a fatal disease of parasitic aetiology seen in humans, is caused by ingestion of larvae of Taenia solium in form of raw or poorly cooked pork. Commonly seen in developing countries, it affects the brain, muscle, lungs, heart and liver and is rarely found in the maxillofacial region. Sometimes, the only evidence of cysticercosis could be the cystic swellings or nodules in the maxillofacial region. Such solitary clinical presentation can be diagnosed early with the aid of ultrasound (USG) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, we present 5 cases of intramuscular cysticercosis of Orofacial region which were initially diagnosed on ultrasonography and later confirmed by MRI and aspiration cytology. We have conducted a systematic review of PubMed Literature for Intramuscular cysticercosis of orofacial region and highlighted key imaging findings from 18 cases retrieved. Through this case series, we highlight the USG and MRI imaging features of intramuscular cysticercosis which are characteristic and diagnostic of the condition.
